What is wrong with government

I find it hard to believe that anyone takes Representative Michele Bachmann (R. Minnesota) seriously. At yesterdays impromptu rally on the Capitol steps that she organized with the help of Fox news, she was heard calling for a revolution and to scare members of congress into voting no on health care reform. So someone at the rally hoisted a large banner that showed bodies of holocaust victims, with the saying that this is socialistic health care. Meanwhile House minority leader John Boehner (R. Ohio) holds up his copy of the constitution and recites a passage from the preamble. He recites something about how all men are created equal with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The only problem with this is that its not the constitution he's reciting, its the Declaration of Independence. Now I don't expect the average Joe to know this, but one of the leaders of our country should. Idiots like him should just check out and go back to private life. Then I hear Carly Fiorina is trying to unseat Barbara Boxer (D. California) from her Senate seat next year. This is the same Carly Fiorina that ran Hewlett Packard. The same Carly Fiorina that layed off thousands of workers at HP while at the same time lobbied the Bush administration to let in more people in from foreign countries to work for HP. I guess she realized an engineer from India will work for around 30 thousand a year, while an engineer from this country makes about three times as much. Not only does she endorse shipping jobs overseas, she wants to replace the ones that are still here with low cost labor. So much for being patriotic. All this in a time where the average CEO pay has gone from around forty times that of an hourly worker to over four hundred times. Didn't she get fired from HP? Yes, and she left with a 20 million dollar severance package. If I get fired I wont get that, nor do I deserve that, and neither does anyone else. If your getting fired, it's because you have not done your job. Oh I forgot, people at that level don't get fired they resign to pursue other interests. Getting back on track, it is ironic that when the majority of this country wanted the Bush administration to pull out of Iraq his buddy Dick Cheney said he didn't care what the people want. Now the majority of people in this country want health care and Republicans are doing everything to stop it. Aren't our elected officials supposed to be representing us and what we want. Every poll taken with the exception of the Fox News poll shows that at least 63 percent of Americans want health care. Its time for our Representatives to start representing the people and not big business.
